<h4 class="subsection">6.60.4 ARC Built-in Functions</h4>

<p>The following built-in functions are provided for ARC targets.  The
built-ins generate the corresponding assembly instructions.  In the
examples given below, the generated code often requires an operand or
result to be in a register.  Where necessary further code will be
generated to ensure this is true, but for brevity this is not
described in each case.
</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> Using a built-in to generate an instruction not supported
by a target may cause problems. At present the compiler is not
guaranteed to detect such misuse, and as a result an internal compiler
error may be generated.

<dt><a name="index-_005f_005fbuiltin_005farc_005faligned"></a>Built-in Function: <em>int</em> <strong>__builtin_arc_aligned</strong> <em>(void *<var>val</var>, int <var>alignval</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Return 1 if <var>val</var> is known to have the byte alignment given
by <var>alignval</var>, otherwise return 0.
Note that this is different from
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">__alignof__(*(char *)<var>val</var>) &gt;= alignval
</pre></div>
<p>because __alignof__ sees only the type of the dereference, whereas
__builtin_arc_align uses alignment information from the pointer
as well as from the pointed-to type.
The information available will depend on optimization level.

<p>The instructions generated by the following builtins are not
considered as candidates for scheduling.  They are not moved around by
the compiler during scheduling, and thus can be expected to appear
where they are put in the C code:
